PhD Position F/M Probabilistic Non-Rigid Image Registration for Safe Brain Tumor Surgery

Contexte et atouts du poste

Within the framework of a partnership (you can choose between)

• public with PR[AI]RIE-PSAI Institute

Mission confiée

Assignments :

With the help of Bertrand Mathon (HDR) and Reuben Dorent (Inria, PR[AI]RIE-PSAI junior fellow), the recruited person will be taken to:

• Develop non-rigid, multimodal, and real-time image registration methods designed for large deformations with topological changes that explicitly predict local uncertainty to enable informed decisions by surgeons
• Develop innovative probabilistic non-rigid registration algorithms that compute dense correspondences between preoperative MRI and intraoperative ultrasound images

Collaboration :

The recruited person will be in a multidisciplinary environment:

• Bertrand Mathon, neurosurgeon at Hôpital Pitié-Salpêtrière and PI of the BRIGHT team at ICM, who provides clinical expertise and access to patient data for validation
• The rich multidisciplinary PR[AI]RIE-PSAI ecosystem

Responsibilities :

• Developing new methods for multimodal probabilistic feature matching and physically-inspired interpolation with uncertainty quantification
• Locating driving points at key surgical boundaries visible in both iUS and MRI
• Learn deep representations adapted to image registration
